Traditional system engineering methods have shown their limits when applied to highly complex systems such as rovers. In parallel, the digitalisation of the industry and the democratisation of the use of models in engineering force the system engineering field to adapt and change its practices by adopting a new approach: Model-Based System Engineering. This project aimed to provide a comprehensive example of an MBSE approach applied to a planetary rover design case study. The MathWorks MBSE toolchain is used to reverse engineer the NASA Sojourner rover. As a result, the defined requirements, and functional and logical architectures are implemented and dynamically linked together. Additionally, a multi-physical simulation model of the rover's power and mobility system is implemented. Requirements, architectures, and physical models are linked together to form a unique and comprehensive knowledge base, providing a vertical model-centric approach. The results of the simulation are used to conduct a trade study and deduct a design change for the system. The results presented in this study form the basis for a discussion aimed at evaluating the benefits and limitations of the MBSE approach mentioned in the scientific literature.

The manuscript presents a modelling method for position control of a piezoelectric-actuated compliant mechanism. The method involves pseudo-rigid body (PRB) theory, linear electromechanical model of piezoelectric benders and Simulink-based simulation. In order to validate the modelling method, two experiments were designed and conducted. They are working volume estimation and voltage clip recurrence. The comparison between simulation and experimental results indicates that the modelling can predict the motion of the compliant structure and be used for optimization design. In future work, the model can be extended to include the hysteresis model of piezoelectric materials. Besides, the model can be applied together with an onboard visual feedback system to carry out a closed-loop control for higher precision motion.
Additive manufacturing technology, with its characteristics of no mold and short production cycle, provides a new scheme for the machining and manufacturing of high performance and difficult material parts. However, t...
